Stars' Matt Murray: Back in minors
Rotowire
Murray was returned to AHL Texas on Thursday.
Murray has been up and down frequently of late -- the Stars have been saving valuable cap space when they are not in action. Murray has been up with the big club to serve as the backup with Jake Oettinger, unavailable -- he's been out of action for four weeks with a lower-body injury. Murray picked up a shutout Monday, stopping 23 shots in a 4-0 win over Minnesota, his first NHL game of the season. If Oettinger remains unavailable, look for Murray to return to the NHL roster Friday as the Stars face Nashville.

Stars' Matt Murray: Earns first shutout
Rotowire
Murray stopped all 23 shots he faced in Monday's 4-0 win over the Wild.
This was Murray's fourth NHL appearance, his second win and his first shutout. The Stars played a strong game in front of him to make it easier for the 25-year-old, who hadn't seen any game action in over three weeks. He's mainly backed up Scott Wedgewood while Jake Oettinger (lower body) has been working his way back from an injury, but with Oettinger getting close, Murray's time in the NHL for this stint is likely soon to be over.

Stars' Matt Murray: Recalled from AHL
Rotowire
Murray was brought up from AHL Texas on Monday.
The Stars had Joe O'Brien, who agreed to an amateur tryout agreement with the team, serve as Scott Wedgewood's backup in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to St. Louis. O'Brien was released Sunday, so Dallas was able to add Murray under the roster emergency exception rule ahead of Monday's matchup against Seattle. Murray has posted a 1-2-0 record with a 3.39 GAA and an .844 save percentage in three NHL starts with the Stars last season. His presence with the big club probably means that Jake Oettinger (lower body) isn't ready to return yet.
